Dive Brief:
Major construction players CEMEX Ventures, Ferrovial, Dysruptek (a Haskell venture), HILTI, GS Futures, Vinci Groups’ Leonard platform and NOVA by Saint-Gobain are looking for transformative, innovative construction startups in the annual Construction Startup Competition.
This year’s program includes five categories for entrants: carbon footprint mitigation, supply chain management, efficient jobsites and built environment, advanced building materials and new construction methods.
Startups have until June 27 to apply in one of the categories that make up the fifth edition of the competition, which in the past selected startups that have gone on to commercial success.
Dive Insight:
Startups that apply will be introduced to networking opportunities with multinational companies, the CEMEX Ventures site says. Once the winners of the competition are announced on Oct. 26, they’ll get the chance to showcase their solution to the seven directors of the organizing companies in a "pitchday" event.
